Business Intelligence and Analytics for Healthcare

Healthcare organizations are going through a technology and data revolution. Pressure from a wide range of sources are forcing both providers and health plans to look at their data and technology investments in new and innovative ways to gain competitive advantage. Healthcare business intelligence can provide organizations the ability to use their data to improve quality of care, increase financial efficiency and operational effectiveness, conduct innovative research and satisfy regulatory requirements.

Healthcare Data Governance

Healthcare organizations are experiencing tremendous technological change and in how they use their data. New EMR’s, 4010/5010 and ICD-9/ICD-10 conversions, standardizing technology platforms and integrating data for analysis all require an enterprise view to truly realize the benefits of technology investments. Having the strategic oversight and management in place to ensure the enterprise view is a critical component for success.

Healthcare Master Data Management

Master data is the cement that ties the organization’s data foundation together. Some healthcare organizations are facing a master data challenge as they move to standardize their systems, perform 4010/5010 migrations and prepare for ICD-10. As healthcare organizations move towards an enterprise view of their data, ensuring the consistency of such things as master patient indexes, physician masters, diagnosis codes and procedure codes will be critical.

Incidence estimates suggest that more than 1.5 million preventable medications related adverse events occur each year in the United States, accounting for an excess of $177 billion in terms of medication-related morbidity and mortality.

The Medication Therapy Management program focuses its efforts on optimizing medication regimens for the highest risk patients.

This includes:

Members at risk for lack of adherence to their medication regimens.

Those most likely to inappropriately use their medications.

Those at high risk for adverse events from their medications.
